Spain: Public sector workers to conduct strikes across Basque Country from Dec. 19
Public sector employees to stage strikes across Basque Country, Spain, from Dec. 19; medical and administrative service disruptions likely.
Public sector employees affiliated with several unions plan to stage strikes across Basque Country from Dec. 19. The purpose of the actions is to call for increased salaries, improved working conditions, and decreased working hours, among other demands. Workers affiliated with six unions will conduct a strike Dec. 19; members of four unions then plan to strike indefinitely from Dec. 20. Organizers of the labor actions did not immediately indicate any specific services that the strikes may impact.
Medical and administrative service disruptions are likely. Transport disruptions cannot be ruled out. Strike-related demonstrations may materialize; heightened security will likely accompany any such protests.
Avoid any demonstrations that materialize as a standard precaution. Reconfirm appointments with administrative bodies and medical institutions in Basque Country during the strike period. Allow time for potential public transport disruptions.
